The 'New' DNC Platform Includes $15 Minimum Wage & Free College

If the Democrats plan to defeat Donald Trump in the general election, Hillary Clinton needs to win over all of those voters who supported Bernie Sanders throughout the Democratic campaign. As we noted just weeks ago, the Vermont Senator - and by extension his supporters - wasn't sold on Hillary's ability to move in the direction that was necessary.

Recall, below is what Sanders had to say about wanting his 12 million supporters to be heard:

"Look we got 12 million votes during our campaign. We received the lion's share of young people who are prepared to stand up and fight for real change in this country, that's what we are bringing in to the Democratic convention. What do we want in return, we want our 12 million supporters to be heard."

The Democratic National Committee unveiled a draft of its party platform on Friday, it is evident that the DNC is focused on convincing those millions of Sanders supporters that it is serious about addressing their concerns. As Politico reports, the draft, which was approved by 13 of the 15 members on the drafting committee, calls for a $15 minimum wage, free community college and abolition of the death penalty.

Check out the latest WikiLeaks release of 1,258 Hillary Clinton’s emails in relation to the Iraq war. The lies and deceit are simply endless. Anyone who considers voting for her is anti-American.

Our young people stand up and fight ? I don't think so , our young people are the most lazy and ignorant in the U.S. . Fight ? This won't happen , they don't understand what the word means.

Just offer free FEMA camp incarceration with free propaganda brainwashing,meals,cots, etc. You don't have to do anything except what your government Mommy and Daddy tell you to do. After all that is the ultimate goal of "progressives". In times past they were called Communists and the camps were called Gulags. Don't forget EVERYTHING will be free.

I understand what you are saying, but would like to add that our military is made up of young tough members.
Also, I am familiar with many young intelligent people.
Again I get what you are saying, but we have a big percent that are not lazy and stupid.
It is just that the one's that are, make the good one's look bad, same as in different breeds.

His rap sheet wasn't as impressive as Hill's.
